Frommer's Review
Opened in 1997, The Ritz-Carlton's first Japanese venture immediately gained a reputation as one of the nation's top hotels. Instead of the grandiose marble lobby most Japanese hotels seem to favor, the lobby here is small and intimate, done in old world style with overstuffed sofas, fireplaces, stunning flower arrangements, chandeliers, antiques, and landscape paintings and portraits from the 18th and 19th centuries. Hotel restaurants are all on the same lower floor to preserve the privacy of hotel guests. Unique standouts include The Bar with its single-malt whiskey, cigars, and live music nightly; an outdoor garden serving champagne in summer; afternoon tea served in the lobby lounge; and a health club free to hotel guests. Stylish rooms -- located from the 24th through 37th floors and among the largest in the city -- offer panoramic views, especially from deluxe corner rooms, as well as goose-down pillows and comforters; terry robes; and spacious marble bathrooms with magnifying mirrors, separate areas for the shower stall, tub, and toilet, and two sinks.
Facilities: 4 restaurants (Japanese, Mediterranean, French seafood, Cantonese); 2 bars; lounge; state-of-the-art health club with gym, 25m (82-ft.) indoor lap pool, and indoor/outdoor whirlpools (free to hotel guests); spa with dry and wet saunas and baths (fee: ¥1,000/$8.35); concierge; small business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms.
